Abstract

The present invention relates to an antireflection film which includes a hard coating layer and a low refractive index layer formed on the hard coating layer, wherein a roughness skewness (Rsk) of the concavo-convex shape of the surface is greater than 0.5 and less than 5, and a slope angle of the concavo-convex shape of the surface is greater than 0.01 degree and less than 0.2 degree, and a display device comprising the antireflection film.

Claims (40)

1. An antireflection film comprising a hard coating layer and a low refractive index layer formed on the hard coating layer,

wherein a roughness skewness (Rsk) of a concavo-convex shape of a surface of the low refractive index layer is greater than 0.5 and less than 5, and a slope angle of the concavo-convex shape of the surface of the low refractive index layer is greater than 0.01 degree and less than 0.2 degree, and

wherein the low refractive index layer comprises a binder resin including a polysilsesquioxane in which at least one reactive functional group is substituted.

2. The antireflection film of claim 1 ,

7. The antireflection film of claim 6 ,

wherein the hard coating layer comprises 1 to 20 parts by weight of the organic or inorganic fine particles based on 100 parts by weight of the (co)polymer of the photopolymerizable compound.

8. The antireflection film of claim 6 ,

wherein the hard coating layer further comprises 3 to 10% by weight of inorganic nanoparticles having a diameter of 1 nm to 50 nm based on the total weight of the organic or inorganic fine particles and inorganic nanoparticles.
